Hi guys
Welcome to the first edition of our best FM 2016 tactics series. If you like devastating attacks, plenty of excitement and edge of your seat Football this is the tactic for you. Plenty of goals, pressing Football and the odd red card, oh well you can’t have it all.

Best FM 2016 Tactics: Formation
The system is based around the popular 4-1-2-3, or 4-5-1 as some prefer. The two central defenders and half back are a security blanket, your shield in front of goal…the rest? Well its a bit chaotic with complete wing backs bombing on the overlap, two attacking central midfielders making late runs into the box, a false nine pulling defenders away and two marauding inside forwards with the freedom to do as they please.
Sounds like a defensive nightmare I know, but that three man defensive shield keeps it all together and every player is instructed to mark tightly and close down so they all do a job defensively.
Best FM 2016 Tactics: Team Instructions
I kept all instructions the same regardless of opponent, the only time you may feel the need to adjust is if your opponent pack out the middle of the field and you keep losing possession as a result, then playing a little wider may help, equally if you are worried about the number of bookings then take off ‘get stuck in’. This is a pressing tactic that unsettles the opposition and includes some very physical play.
Before we move on, please do not ask me to list the individual player instructions, I have made the effort of making, testing and writing this tactic up, the least you can do is learn how to download it as if you don’t chances are the tactic won’t work. The player instructions are very, very important and that is why I have put this tactic up for download, to make sure they implemented properly.
Best FM 2016 Tactics: Player Roles
GK — goalkeeper (defend) — standard goalkeeper
CD — central defender (defend) — typical central defenders as ever, tackling, positioning, strength and heading are key attributes, try and avoid slow centre backs as you can be in danger of the counter attack and passes over the top.
DM — half back (defend) — This guy can drop back to form a three man defence or act as a shield in front of your defence so he needs to tackle, head the ball, mark and pass. Defensive attributes are best but an all round midfielder would be ideal.
CM — central midfielder (attack) — The complete midfielder would be ideal but players with great physical ability and good speed are best, both CM’s are instructed to get furtehr forward and dribble more as well as move into channels. They must be able to pass and the better they are in front of goal the more they’ll score.
AMR/AML — inside forward (attack) — lots of goals and assists from these two players, they have a lot of freedom and you need someone who has vision, flair, speed, dribbling and finishing ability. Also off the ball is important as the ability to be lost in the box will make scoring easier. The better these two are the more success you will gain and magician dribblers are preferred.
ST — false nine (support) — Possibly the hardest position to fill. This guy must do it all, he needs speed, dribbling, flair and the usual finishing attributes. Off the ball is very important as is anticipation but don’t underestimate how good passing should be, this guy needs to pick out the inside forwards.
Best FM 2016 Tactics: Results
Premier League with Newcastle
Considering the weak defence I think 2nd is a great finish and we only lost three times. Some of those draws were down to injuries and suspensions. This tactic can feel inconsistent with the odd unexpected draw, these usually happen for a reason either a very important player was missing or your side squandered too many chances.
Player Stats
The stats above prove how vital those inside forwards are, also note the wing backs assist record they need to play a big part also.
Results with Roma
One save didn’t feel like enough so I decided to test this in Italy and the results were great. Considering we had a tonne of injuries to deal with the tactic performed almost perfectly. With Newcastle I found the bookings and red cards bearable, but in Italy it was almost unplayable, therefore I had to deselect ‘get stuck in’ from team instructions, this worked almost instantly and didn’t damage the tactic.
Best FM 2016 Tactics: Top Tips
- This has been tested for the BETA, we cannot predict whether this will work on full release due to potential match engine changes.
- Note, this tactic can seem inconsistent at times, chances are you are watching in key highlights mode and not seeing all the chances your players are missing…if your players are not creating chances then you do not have a suitable squad to use this system.
- As with any tactic it needs loading at the start of pre-season and don’t sign a whole new team, these two things will see you under perform not because of a poor tactic but because of poor management.
- Pre-season: General training – team cohesion with medium intensity.
- During Season: General Training – balanced, Match Preparation – take assistants advice and judge by form.
- For opposition instructions use your assistant manager or coach with best tactical knowledge.
- Be aware you need a decent size squad…at least two players per position to allow for injuries and bans.
- You will commit a lot of fouls and have impact injuries, its the nature of the tactic. If you struggle with bookings then deselect ‘get stuck in’ from your team instructions, but do not stop closing down.
- If you do not have suitable players for the DR, DL, AMR, AML and ST then this tactic will be hindered.

Can you change the player roles or will that mess things up
Darren
5 ноября, 2015 at 20:08
I couldn’t say as changing the roles would change the tactics functionality. All you could do is try and see what happens.
Timothy
5 ноября, 2015 at 07:03
do you switch to counter or switch mentality at all depending on your opponent ?
Darren
5 ноября, 2015 at 20:07
That is mentioned in the post but no I didn’t though you should judge that on your own save, in some cases it may work.
Daniel Eastman
8 ноября, 2015 at 06:49
Best tactic I’ve used yet! Do you have a slot 2/3 tactic in conjunction with this?

Hi Darren, looks like the new update has hit this a fairly hard as it’s no longer getting the possession it was yesterday with the same team. Hopefully you have a new one on the way
Darren
10 ноября, 2015 at 20:57
Its not AS effective but does still work for me. In all honesty I think they have improved the AI quite a bit so any tactic would take a hit. I won’t be working on anything new until the ME changes calm down.

I won the prem with Spurs last season but am having a dodge season and was struggling to turn it around. Strikers just were not scoring. Loaded this tactic a few minutes ago. Kane just scored his fourth goal of the game
Darren

Glad it worked from the off, hope you get some consistency with it too.
TheTinkerman
12 ноября, 2015 at 13:28
Defence is fine I think Darren, less than a goal a game which is pretty good considering how many goals you get with this tactic. Some great results with Newcastle, also seems very consistent with Roma. Nice one :)
Darren
12 ноября, 2015 at 18:26

Just wanted to say thanks, the tactic still works; but somehow a bit inconsistent away from home (but I guess most tactics are at this current state of the game).
However, I won the Premiership on my first try with Watford, only made minor signings to the defence in the january transfer window.
Thanks Darren!
Darren
15 ноября, 2015 at 09:11
Glad its still working for you. I think the tactic is a little inconsistent in general, when its on point its deadly but can easily go wrong. So far seems to be more on point though so hope future updates don’t ruin that.

Alright when I attempt this part «2. Once the file is downloaded move it to the following folder documents>sports interactive>football manager 2016>tactics» there is no tactics folder, I have tried adding a new folder and sending the formation into there but when I am in game there is no tactic there. Am I doing something wrong ?
Darren
15 ноября, 2015 at 15:33
If you have a legal copy of the game the instructions should work and I have never heard of the tactics folder not been there.
Salon Quality Hair
15 ноября, 2015 at 15:34
It is a copy I bought via Steam
Darren
15 ноября, 2015 at 15:43
That is strange I can’t work out what the issue is…do you have two Football Manager 2016 files? In years gone by I had two one had files in the other didn’t.
Salon Quality Hair
15 ноября, 2015 at 15:46
Nah there is only the 1 file there. Football Manager 2014 and 15 is there and they don’t even have the tactics folder in them.
Darren
15 ноября, 2015 at 16:03
That would have been my next step, certainly wasn’t right to not have tactics folder. Glad you managed to download.

No you shouldn’t lose them but copy and paste them somewhere safe for insurance before reinstalling.

Matthew Pryor
15 ноября, 2015 at 17:15
Using the tactic with Bolton. I’m not doing terrible with it, but just not scoring enough. Think that is mainly down to the players at my disposal though. Not signed anyone, except a GK on loan when Amos got injured
Darren
15 ноября, 2015 at 19:37
This does require a certain caliber of player and sounds like you may be short of that in the Championship.
Matthew Pryor
15 ноября, 2015 at 19:41
Oh, dont get me wrong, it’s working. I’m getting a lot of shots, but not so many on target, and even less of the ones on target hit the back of the net. I’m 4th in the Championship after 8 games with 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so can’t complain. Good job.

15 ноября, 2015 at 19:26
Hi Mate. When you want to play wider with your tactic. Do you mean the setting «width» or do i change the passing distribution to the flanks? Cheers for a great tactic.
Darren
15 ноября, 2015 at 19:38
I would say exploit the flanks.
Duncan Robertson

As stated in the post I will not list all player instructions, you need to download the tactic for that.
Duncan Robertson
17 ноября, 2015 at 23:17
Are there any plans for someone to do a 4-2-3-1 as that’s the formation that I’ve used in previous FMs but have been unable to get it to work in this one no matter what I try?
Darren
18 ноября, 2015 at 11:50
Not as yet only because it seems hard to find consistency in the current patch,
Jack
20 ноября, 2015 at 05:52
Hey Darren, thanks for the tactics, always been a fan of them in the past. However when I try to download this one, my comp tells me I have no app to open the file, any suggestions on what to do?
Darren
20 ноября, 2015 at 11:50
Once downloaded you need to move the file not open it, so cut and paste the file into the destination in the instructions.
Jack
20 ноября, 2015 at 12:07
Thanks, managed to get it working now. One more question is there a place for a traditional number ten in your tactics. Or is better to them sell off these types of players to replace with more box to box type players?
Darren
20 ноября, 2015 at 12:24
Sorry the start and end of your paragraph seem like different questions. If you mean the F9 then yes you need that sort of player, not a poacher or advanced forward they will not work.
Jack
20 ноября, 2015 at 12:40
Sorry. What i meant is would be possible to play a player like Ozil in the CM position in your tactics?
Darren
21 ноября, 2015 at 08:33
I understand, you could go either way really. But this year the better a players ability in a role and position the better chance you have of them succeeding. I’d try Ozil in both MC and which ever wing he prefers to see which hes most effective from.
Lupie
20 ноября, 2015 at 13:39
Thanks for the tactic, I’m really enjoying it since I’ve previously struggled to find any decent working 4-2-3-1 formation in FM16. However, I struggle a bit with the bookings even though I’ve deselected ‘Get stuck in’. My back four and HB gets around three or four bookings almost every game, is this normal for this tactic? I realize it builds on very high pressure and physical play but when my centre half gets booked after less than 10 minutes you start to get a little bit worried imo.
Darren
21 ноября, 2015 at 08:34
Yes bookings are an issue, it also comes down to the players. Unfortunately as you pointed out it is a high pressing tactic so the bookings are part and parcel but maybe just check if they have individual player instructions to tackle hard too, that could be making things worse.

Are those results with Roma done with the patch 16.1.1?
Tactic it’s very good defensively, but the offense sometimes lacks clear cuts or even good shots from the false 9. Even so, awesome work!
Darren
23 ноября, 2015 at 18:46
All tested in BETA, hence the comment suggesting it may not perform as well in the full release…we will be looking at new tactics soon though, or at least as soon as SI release a new patch.
Huw Davies
24 ноября, 2015 at 10:24
I’ve just been promoted with Hull into the premier league, do you reckon this tactic could work for a newly promoted side? Or is it a bit too attacking?
Darren
24 ноября, 2015 at 18:21
Might be a push TBF but theres only one way to find out.
Lapdogg
25 ноября, 2015 at 08:36
It’s working okay to be fair. Losing against big clubs but scoring a fair few vs. smaller clubs. Happy
Stu Bell
29 ноября, 2015 at 11:31
This is an excellent tactic, won 3 in a row after changing it mid season with sunderland. Fortunately i already had a similar set up but it was so inconsistent and flawed, i was able to change to this just before a match and controlled it. Thats the difference i think. Ive beat watford away 2-0, Leicester at home 4-0 and Man utd away 2-1 since changing to this mid season and dominated the matches.
Id also recommend, in the tactics bit have your 2nd and 3rd formations as copies of this one and your squad will learn it faster.
Darren
1 декабря, 2015 at 18:34
Glad its working for you.

Hi, I’ve just bought the game and started with this tactic and so far so good, although I am playing the game on my Ipad and unable to download the tactic to see the individual player instructions, is there any way I can see it without downloading the file?
Thanks

Si
9 декабря, 2015 at 13:10

Yes it is played with control.

15 декабря, 2015 at 19:24
Well, tried this with Derby County in the Championship. Just got to the end of the January transfer window and only added a couple of decent youngsters: Rico Henry and Joel Pereira.
Currently second in the league having lost just two away games.
Mind you, I’ve drawn ten — mainly by conceding a lot of late goals!
I’ve scored freely, with 30+ goals from the inside forwards.
Great tactic — we’ll see how it goes in the Prem?!
My tactical advisors keep wanting me to swap my CF to advanced instead of F9, as well as my midfielders and FBs to different roles… I’ve kept to your plan to date.
(As I don’t know how to download tactics, I’ve added my own player instructions).
Cheers — top tactic!!
Darren
16 декабря, 2015 at 12:26
To be honest it will be quite different if you have not downloaded the tactic as there are a lot of important instructions. Downloading is very easy just follow the instructions.
Dawid
13 декабря, 2015 at 17:46
Hi, I lost a lot of goals. Usually in first 15 minutes at first or second half…maybe you now why ? I’m playing AC Milan and my DC: Romagnoli Mammana. In my first 20 games I lost 22 goals…
Darren
14 декабря, 2015 at 07:52
To be honest its hard to pin point where the issue lies without watching the match engine. Mammana may be a little too green to be starting every game first season but unless you watch the ME in at least extended highlights and analyse what is going on we’ll both be guessing at the issue.
Dion
18 декабря, 2015 at 09:49

Without seeing your game theres no way of knowing it could be a number of things, lots that aren’t even related to the tactic.
You need to watch the match engine closely and work out what the issue is, also see how your team talks are working etc. If you do need to think about an alternative tactic you could try my 4-1-4-1 but I see no point until you understand for yourself what the issue actually is.
Ashley
2 января, 2016 at 15:48
Hey man,
firstly this kicks ass. Great formation and tactics. Used the DL to great effect.
been reading the comments and I know you need to see match engine and games etc, only thing iu have an issue with is, qualified for Europa league wit the toon, this season, things don’t seem to be going so smoothly, brought in a few extra players for depth. Though only around 6 games in., do you know of nay thing in particular to try?
Darren
2 января, 2016 at 16:42
As mentioned to others I can’t say what is happening in your game as I can’t see what mistakes you may be making with team talks and signings, squad selection etc.
Daniel Savage

Hi, This is a truly amazing tactic, I am playing as chelsea and have won all competitions at least twice in my first 4 seasons. Do you have any suggestions for a good False Nine as my strikers only seems to score 6 goals between them for the whole season
Darren
3 января, 2016 at 09:55
I don’t know who is available in your save being so far in nor who is developing well but might be worth seeing if Dybala can be bought. Other than that I found Ayoze Perez and Gabriel Barbosa quite good.
Jotzer
9 января, 2016 at 01:17
Hi, how important do you consider the full backs to have their strong foot on the right side. I play with a very similar tactic with Gladbach and I am searching for a new dl, my first choice, Andrew Robertson seems to bee to expensive so I thought to go after Erik Durm but the problem is, he is right footed and his left one is only decent, I would consider it important but maybe it could be a chance it doesn´t mather that much, my other dl options dont look that great.
Darren
9 января, 2016 at 12:43
I deem it very important to be honest, you need left foot for left otherwise momentum is lost in the wing backs attack as he cuts back to cross.
Jotzer
9 января, 2016 at 13:47
Yeah that was what I suspected, shame about Durm he would be a good deal, I´m gonna fight with Hull for Robertson´s price then(he looks good in almost everything) or maybe Muniesa. Thanks for replying.

Hey Darren,
Any chance you’ve got any feedback as to how this performs with the new patch and/or an updated version to work with what you’ve found?
Also, is there a 4-2-3-1 style tactic in the pipeline?
Thanks for all your advice and so on over the years, its been of much help!
Thanks,
Christopher
Darren Smith
13 января, 2016 at 19:00
I have used it with Newcastle in the most recent patch and was working well for me, just wise to have a more defensive minded for those tough away games. No 4-2-3-1 in pipeline as yet I’m afraid.
Mike
21 января, 2016 at 21:02
Hi Mate, I notice from the screenshot you play Wijnaldum on the right and Thauvin on the left, is this better than the other way around? I generally thought that having a right footed player on the left and a lefty on the right was better. As inside forwards cut inside and look to shoot I thought that was better?
Nice tactic by the way.
Darren Smith
22 января, 2016 at 18:38
That is the general rule but its not always the case, trial and error is the best way in a case by case basis.
Thomas
24 января, 2016 at 02:17
I have tried your tactics. And this one work almost perfect with Ajax. The only problem is early and late goals. I have not played the fm16 much, so I dont know if it is the engine. But I will play my first season with Ajax and look at the stats. Then see what is going on.
Jody
24 января, 2016 at 12:40
This is the best tactic I have used. It’s helped me to achieve the following with Aston Villa:
Season 1: Premier League Runners Up and FA Cup Winners.
Season 2: 4th in Premier League and Europe League Runners Up.
Season 3: Premier League Winners
Season 4: League Cup Winners, Premier League Runners Up, Champions League Winners.
My full backs have been superb. Michael Richards Is loving life as a right wing back.
I made my full backs less aggressive as they were the main ones be in sent off.
Callum Wilson has been amazing as a False Nine.
Special mentions must also go to Andreja Zivkovic & Alex Mowatt.

Hi Darren
I started this with my Sheff Wed team, I bought a few players to fit around the tactic i.e. inside forwards.
Started of great, was top of the championship, scoring lots and playing good football. My CM (McGugan) and my right IF (Matias) both my best players. Once December hit I had a couple of key injuries (McGugan & Matias), since Dec (I’m not in March) my form has completely dipped, can’t score, conceding goals left right and centre and nothing I am doing is stopping this, I’m making training more defensive focused to stop the goals but they keep conceding!
This was a great tactic at the beginning but now its ruining my season! any ideas??? My 2 key players are still out injured but I have adequate back up.
Thanks
Darren Smith
28 января, 2016 at 19:22
Sometimes it can feel as though the opposition has worked you out so to speak…seems this is the case, or those key players that are injured really are key to the success of the system. Either way I would recommend changing system to my lower league 4-1-4-1.
Matt Lino

Hi Darrent. Thanks for sharing this tactic. I have created a new game and will try your tactics at Galatasaray. Looks suitable for now, but I will improve with some backups and 2 new players for first 11.
All I wonder is during match, do you lower temp to save players fitness when you are leading by 2 goals. Because it was ard to maintain 2-0 with my previous tactic 5-3-2 WB which was kinda similar but different roles.
Please tell me about in match dynamism; tempo, roles: df, support,att… and espeecially hard away matches such rivalries or CL for a underdogs..

I change nothing during the match. I may from time to time switch to counter near the end and make the full backs less attacking but that is about it. Everything else remains as is.

Great tactic! Do you pay attention to your corner takers’ preferred foot, or should you just let the players with the best corner ability take the corners?

Not really TBH but if I did my logic would say left footed taking the right corner and vice versa.

How about Real Sociedad ? Looks fine for EU Cup qualification. Gotta try :)

Hey Man, started using this today with my newcastle team on a new save. Kept same players and played them in same positions as you and also followed pre season and during season training tips. Had a good pre season winning all but one game but since the season has began i drew my first game against swansea and lost all my following matches…. not really sure where i can be going wrong??

Man, this is the best tactic ever. i play with Man United, Pogba and Kroos in midfield. even if cental midfielder is not their best role i have not lost a single game for 30 games now. never had a run like this. my left and right back are average rating 8, insane. thanks for this!!

Sorry, but this tactic really isn’t working for me. I’m managing Celtic and I’m in my third season. The results are erratic, I create loads but score few and lose single goals frequently by a single shot on target. Very frustrating! Anyone else?
